How it started
Jake Glacer, 24, studied accounting, earned his CPA and worked at a Big Four firm while teaching himself to code. To fix his own trouble waking up, he texted a friend videos of morning push-ups for accountability, and built an accountability app MVP in about 19 days. He then added a real alarm using iOS 26's AlarmKit API and grew it mainly through influencer marketing, going from $0 to $50K/month in four months.
